What does the Bible say about God's goodness in judgment?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates God's goodness even in judgment, as seen in the story of Eli in 1 Samuel 3.

In the narrative of Eli found in 1 Samuel 3, we see a profound example of God's goodness intertwined with His judgments. Even though Eli's sons sinned grievously and brought judgment upon their family, God allowed Eli to respond with humility and acceptance rather than anger. This response, brought about by God's grace, reflects the essence of His goodness—confronting us with our sin and allowing us the chance to acknowledge it. Eli's acceptance of God's sovereign will, saying, 'It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good,' illustrates the peace that comes from surrendering to God's perfect plan, even amidst judgment.
